Next Anime Season tracks release dates, broadcast times and streaming for new and returning anime. The job we have set ourselves is narrow and we would rather do it properly than broadly: tell you when something is actually coming out, and tell you plainly when nobody has said yet. What is on air right now is on our weekly schedule.
The site is independent. We are not affiliated with any studio, publisher, production committee or streaming service, and no part of our coverage is paid for by them.
Where our dates come from
In order of preference:
- The anime’s own official website, which is where a production announces a broadcast date first.
- Official announcements from the studio, the publisher or the production committee, including official social accounts and press releases.
- AniList, for series records, episode counts, air dates and staff credits.
Pages that carry a date say where it came from and on what day we checked it. When a figure is circulating that the production itself has not confirmed, we say so and name who did publish it, rather than repeating it as fact.
What we will not do
We do not invent release dates. If a season has been announced with no date, our page says there is no date, which is less satisfying than a number but is the true answer. We do not name an animation studio that has not been announced, and we do not present a rumour as a confirmation.
Several of our pages exist specifically to separate what has been confirmed from what has been widely repeated, because those two things come apart more often than you would expect.
Corrections
We correct openly and we date the correction on the page itself rather than editing quietly.
The clearest example is also our worst mistake. On 31 October 2026 we audited our own seasonal roundup pages and found that several of them listed anime that do not exist. Invented titles had been published with real animation studios credited next to them, which is unfair to those studios and useless to readers. Every title was checked against AniList one at a time. The lists were not patched, because there is no correct version of a list of shows that were never made: all five roundups were removed and rebuilt from source on 1 November 2026, and each of those pages now carries a dated note saying what was wrong and what was done about it, for example our Fall 2026 season guide.
If you find something on this site that is wrong, we would genuinely like to know. A correction is more useful to us than a compliment.

The comment form at the bottom of any article reaches us. Comments are moderated before they appear, so if you are sending a correction rather than a public comment, say so and we will act on it without publishing it.
